Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Hummock is a hiking trip-memory application operated by Johan Buratti. When this policy refers to "we", "us", or "Hummock", it refers to that operator. Questions or requests regarding your data can be sent to hello@hummock.app.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal data:

• Account data — your email address and a hashed password when you register.
• Location data — GPS coordinates and timestamps recorded during trips you choose to start. Recording only begins when you explicitly start a trip.
• Photos — images you take or import within the app and attach to a trip.
• Trip metadata — trip name, description, visibility setting (public/private), and the date of your hike.
• Usage data — standard server logs (IP address, device type, browser, pages visited) retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data solely to provide and improve the Service:

• To store and display your trips to you
• To contribute your public trips' GPS tracks to the community heatmap (private trips are excluded from all community features)
• To send transactional emails (password reset, account confirmations)
• To detect and prevent abuse and fraud

We do not use your data for advertising and we do not build advertising profiles.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share data only with the following sub-processors required to operate the Service:

• Google Cloud Platform — backend infrastructure and database hosting (EU region)
• Sentry — crash reporting and error monitoring (error reports may contain device metadata)

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data and trip content for as long as your account is active. You may delete individual trips at any time. When you delete your account, all associated personal data is permanently deleted within 30 days.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to restrict or object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, email us at hello@hummock.app.

If you are in the European Economic Area, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7. International Transfers

Our infrastructure is hosted in the EU (Google Cloud Platform, europe-west1 region). Your data is stored and processed within the European Economic Area.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users by email of material changes. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
